scratching is great for making flower stamens and anthers and butterfly antennae
Couldn't say it any better! Many thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom ! Xxx
I love how fast you are in this. Most tutorials are mind numbingly slow/ boring and I cannot get through them.
Some things can be done fast, not all, thanks for watching :-)
Amazing Tips. Love that you unselfishly share all your experience and techniques. Your videos are clear and precise. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for watching!
Very good tips on your video,thanks Michele
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for sharing so many great ideas with us 🌸
Thank you!
Thanks for all the good tips
Again, Michele, another outstanding video. TYSM for making it for us watercolorists around the world 🌎
Thank you so much 😀
ooooh, the gum arabic is looks like it will be fun to play with
I sometimes use a white colour pencil as a wax resist for small details, like the white reflection in an eye. The paint goes over it but can be lifted easily.
I like the techniques you shared, esp the netting w the masking fluid. It could be used to make an old fence, like around a vacant lot or an old home…to show the effect of a chain-link fence that is rusty or falling apart.
I love that your channel is cat approved. That's adorable
I LOVED the masking tape tip and the oil pastels!
I'm so glad!
I am so happy I found your video's. As a beginner water color painter I really appreciate them. Looking forward to more, thank you!
I like the idea of using a knife for details.
Thank you, Michele! I love that you discuss specific ways in which an artist can incorporate the different techniques into his/her paintings. Many times a technique is demonstrated, and it is great, but then you’re left with the “now what?” question. Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience!
Glad you liked it!
Fresh and inspiring techniques to ponder! Thank you . . . and more like this would just be awesome! 😄😉
More to come!
Great video Michele!!!
Great techniques Michele!!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
"hedgehog's eyelashes" hahahaha What a cool video, I can't wait to try these.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for all your tutorials!
My pleasure!
A great video with a bonus belly laugh (much needed), hedgehog eyelashes! 🤣🤣❤️👍🏻
😁
Love all these techniques, Michele! I often use a light wash of yellow ochre tinted with some sort of brown and then put the plastic wrap on it. When it's dry, I then use a dark brown with a toothbrush and do a really fine splatter over it. The paint cannot be too wet for this or I'll get blobs, but the fine splatter looks really cool! The whole piece then looks like old paper that's been around for ages.
That sounds great!
I enjoyed your video. The only one's I have used is the salt one but I used table salt. I loved it.
I’m going to try all of these.
Great video. More of this would be great.
More to come!
Lovely! Thank you 😊
I loved them all, but the gum arabic and the shavings are interesting. Thanks.
You’re welcome 😊
I strayed Michelle... Ive been all over other mediums... but so glad I came back. I love love love watercolour and you are a terrific teacher. You bring my work up from pretty pictures to beautiful paintings. Still very much a beginner but you know what I mean. Happy 2023.
Thank you so much! Happy new year!
Great fun techniques, I have just created an interesting page in my scrapbook trying them all. Think I will use the pencil shaving one lots, it’s brilliant, thank you
Wonderful!
You are really creative and inspirational!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for all the teaching you are giving us, I’m learning a lot. Thank you again
I use the salt technique a lot for snowy backgrounds on Christmas cards! (I just use cheap table salt because that's what I already have in the cupboard, sometimes it leaves little slivers of salt still on the paper, but for snow that can actually look like sparkling snow flakes :D )
One thing I've found with using tape, if you keep tearing your paper try breathing on the tape (not blowing like you would try to cool food, breathing like you're trying to fog up glass), it warms the tape glue and combined with pulling sideways-not-up it rarely tears :)
Great tip!
Michele! I’m so re inspired! Ive got to get back into playing like this rather than hoping for a better finished result, then not trying at all!
Fantastic!
Great tips and the circumstances you could use the different tips. Thank you
Brilliant! Thank you Michele
Aw you're welcome 🙂
I'm from Brazil and I loved the techniques! Obrigado

Thank you!
Wow!!! That was so much fun! I love your videos and I’m not a painter, but every time I watch one of your videos I think, ‘I’d love to try that’. Thanks so much for sharing this.

I have been trying these techniques and I find I’m learning water control in the process. I bought a watercolor sketchbook and am disciplining myself to spend at least 10 minutes or more a day playing with these. I’m looking forward to creating a piece that I can actually hang on the wall! Thank you very much for teaching on TH-cam!❤
Wonderful!
Enjoyed video and found interesting and informative...👩🎨🎨✍mikelle art mom
Thank you 🙏
Great techniques!,
Thank you!
Fabulous!
Thanks! I've tried many of these techniques and you taught me new ones. I'm from s.w. oklahoma, usa
Hello Oklahoma :-)
Brilliant!
YOU ARE AMAZING, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS
So nice of you!
A gum arabic peacock would be amazing I think
Thank you always learn something.
Thank you!
very interesting techniques.
This was a great video, I can’t wait to try the techniques myself. The gum Arabic one is really intriguing. I would love to see more videos like this one.
Thank you, Michele! Happy Holidays.
Ronnie
And to you too!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber HO, HO, MERRY, MERRY🎄
Watching you, paint is like observing Edward Scissor Hands' mom applying makeup. Very instructional
I wanted to add to my previous comment that one of the many things I liked about this video is that as well as showing the technique you also gave ideas on ways it could be used. This video is one of my all time favourites. Thanks again 🌸
Ah thank you!
I think the cling wrap would make just a beautiful card in itself. Loved all of those thank you.
Love your videos and your personality. And love love the wayyou saw drawring ;)
Thank you very much! (London R in there!)
Great lesson!
Thanks :-)
great video Michele
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this Michelle my first with you i am English too living in California
I'm excited to try gum arabic!
Wonderful video!
Thank you!
Thank you so much from kauai. So stoked i found you on TH-cam!
Thank you!
You are welcome!
I have been painting for a year and using acrylics. I wanted to learn something different and watercolors are supposed to be the hardest to use. You have made them easy to start and I'm learning so much with your videos!! Now on to get some good watercolors and give these cheapies to my grandkids lol.
Wonderful!
Absolutely brilliant! I've been using watercolor for many years, but a few of these are new to me. Can't wait to try the cling wrap technique. Many thanks! ❤
Have fun!
Thank you Michelle. This has given me lots of options to get different effects.
This is an aesome and very creative and useful video lesson in watter colour techniques...I strongly recommand this for all budding artists...thankyou Michele ji...you are a good teacher...lots of patience...
Thank you so much 😀
Thankyou from Australia
Hello Australia 😊 Must be morning with you!

Very educational videos
I have used the cling wrap with lighter colors to make a background for ink work.
The knife lines technique is brilliant!!😊
Oh my! I love the inktense spatter. As I’m watching you I’m also pausing to check Amazon for prices and saving on a list. Also love the gum Arabic. Wow such as use in backgrounds- I can’t wait to try it! Then the knife scratching, although I love the details of many wood surfaces, I can see this working really well into my wood detail. Thank you so much!!
My pleasure :-)
Love all the tricks you're sharing, thank you!
That masking tape trick would be pretty awesome for rocks! Would make it look like lichen or moss is growing on the rock. I'll have to try it!~
Oh, good idea!
Excellent, Michele, You gave me lots of ideas on how to paint limestone fossil beds for my fossil project. I am going to try plastic film, salt, masking fluid, oil pastels and maybe combinations of several techniques to get the textures I need. Thank you so much. Kate Blakeslee
Hi Kate, I love fossils!
Wow That was so good. I especially loved the cling wrap technique, but I will be trying as many as you so generously provided
Thanks 🙏 Glad you liked it 😊
Loved this Michele! Using Gum Arabic was new to me so I think it is something I will give a go! In addition to the techniques you have shown, I have in the past used dried rice (in place of salt), bubble wrap and aluminium foil which all give great effects! 😊
Love the masking fluid printing idea!
Thanks for another fabulously helpful video. I've learned so much through watching these and your watercolour for beginners class! The technique that was most helpful is using a knife for those tiny lines. Perfect for veins on leaves and flowers ... saves me having to find a hedgehog eyelash brush.
Hello , this is my first visit to your channel today and I wanted to thank you for sharing and compliment your teaching and demonstrations. This will be useful to my book efforts and very helpful to personalize with tlc myself. Most appreciated .
You are very welcome!
Wow wat amazing tips, can't say the one I like most, so much info, i think i will have to rewatch some parts again😂👍, thx so much again 4 an amazing video, KOVE your channel
Glad you enjoyed!
I so appreciate the gum Arabic, I've been using it on water, animal eyes. Thankyou. Love your tips!
I've been experimenting with water color grounding for texture
Wonderful!
Thanks!
Thank you so much mariah!
thanks for explaining the techniques so clearly
I’m so glad I found you here. I paint with oil mostly but with your techniques Ive learned today I’ll be pulling out my watercolors again. Thanks again. ❤
